Chapter 1: Presenting

Chapter Text

The Takedas inn is bustling as the Karasuno volleyball team carries futons and blankets to the giant laundry room. Suga and Narita were busy loading the 5 washing machines, while Kinoshita and Ennoshita air out the futons. Hinata is working with Noya and Yachi, all three in a triangle folding the massive pile of towels in front of them. The chatter in the room and the hallway is loud enough that they can talk quietly without being overheard.

“You doing okay Shou?” Noya asked breaking away from his conversation with Yachi. Hinata continued to fold towels, staring without seeing, face flushed. “Shou?” he asked again a little louder.

“Hm?” Hinata snaps up looking confused.

“I asked if you were okay”

“Oh. I’m fine” hinata waved his hands, looking unconvincing.

“You sure?” Yachi questioned looking at him more closely. Hinata was flushed almost down to his chest, which was rising and falling rapidly, his hair was more messy than usual and he ran a lightly shaking hand it messing it up more, and his eyes were lidded and glassy.

Suga came over looking concerned “You do look a like unwell…”

“I’m fine really, just sorta hot”

“Why don't you run home early then and grab your stuff for this weekend?”

“O-okay” Hinata stood up on shaky legs and moved slowly through the inn to the back door and grabbed his bike off the rack, still feeling a bit hazy but better in the cool breeze.



Suga paced the front hall, nervously glancing at the hall clock everytime he passed it. Hinata could be flighty sometimes, but he was never ever this late. He wasn't answering his phone either. He had looked a little feverish when he left earlier, but he would have called if he was sick or if he wasn't coming back tonight. Could he have crashed his bike? Gotten in an accident or stopped by someone? Where was he? He was biting his nails at this point, looking at the clock for the hundredth time that hour when a warm hand rested on his shoulder. “Ukai” he said turning to his pack leader.

“I know you’re worried, but everyone is having a good time. Go relax.”

Suga bowed his head and moved towards the living room the whole group used as a main den and meeting area. Ukai followed Suga in, eyes scanning, making sure everyone was more or less not destroying the house. Daichi was playing some card game with Bokuto, Kuroo, and Akaashi. The new third years were in the kitchen arguing who was going to get stuck with clean up duty, while Noya was practically climbing Asahi trying to get him upstairs. Tanaka and Yachi were trying to bait Kenma into some form of a conversation. Kiyoko was talking to Takeda, holding a map of the pack wing talking about new room arrangements.

He didn't mind having outsiders over but 3 unbonded Alphas that didn't belong made him a little antsy.

Ukai nodded to Kiyoko as she left Takeda to find Yachi, looping his arms around his Mates waist “Ittetsu”

“Keishin” he replied nuzzling in the Ukias shoulder and lightly scenting his neck, leaning into his arms.

“Let’s go upstairs yeah?” Ukai whispered in his Omegas ear, who quickly nodded his head and followed him upstairs to the main house living quarters. The boys playing poker giving each other knowing looks.

Suga sat on the couch a little ways from Daichi stealing glances at him in between looking at the clock and the main hallway door.

“Your Mates burning holes in the back of your head Captain.” Akaashi said to Daichi quietly.

Daichi gave a glance back when Suga looked up at the clock “He’s just worried about Hinata” he said looking up at the clock himself.

10:49

Hinata was really late. Glancing around he noted Kageyama pacing the space near Yachi and Tanaka, who were also looking at the clock occasionally. Asahi was in the giant bean bag chair they had set up in corner with Noya grinding in his lap, making a mental note to break it up soon. The Betas were in the kitchen playing some kind of game with a bag of cheetos and a wooden spoon, he didnt even want to know. Tsukishima was sitting on the floor next to the laundry and bath hallway latched onto Yamaguchi who was seated in between his legs. The Omega resting his head on the Alphas shoulder. He remembers the first few months after him and Suga bonded and knows how they feel, chuckling a bit.

His laugh caught in his throat though when he heard the door open and saw Hinata standing in the doorway, looking worse than he had that morning. His knees were shaking, eyes glazed over, clothed disheveled and his smell was overwhelming.

Thats when it hit him.

Hinata was presenting as an Omega.

 

There was a heartbeat of silence as Hinata looked right at Suga opening his mouth to say something, and then every Alpha in the room moved at once.

Daichi grabbed Bokuto and tackled him to the floor seeing him as the biggest threat for some reason.

“Akaashi get Kuroo out!” shouted Kenma. Akaashi had him and was dragging him outside.

Asahi had his arms around Kageyama as the young Alpha growled trying to get towards Hinata.

Noya and Ennoshita were trying to calm Tanaka and get him outside when Ukai stormed down the stair, pheromones full force.

“Suga what the fu-” and cut off seeing Suga and Yachi hovering protectively around a confused and crying Hinata.

“EVERYONE OUT” he bellowed “Daichi get them all out!” he pushed Suga lightly out of the way and picked up Hinata who cried out as slick ran down his leg, setting off Kageyama and Bokuto as they were dragged out.

Suga followed Ukai upstairs as they made their way to the second floor of the pack wing, opening the sixth door and pulling out the futon.

“shhh shhh it’s okay Hinata. It’s okay.” Ukai crooned to the new Omega, watching as Suga fit the waterproof cover and dark brown sheet on the bed. Suga stepped aside when he finished allowing Ukai to place Hinata down.

Hinata was crying in earnest now, lightly rubbing into the futon “”Suga… What's happening?”

Suga just blushed and quickly looked at Ukai before leaving the room.

Ukai moved towards Hinata trying to breath shallow “Hinata” he said kneeling down next to him “You’re presenting as an Omega, it’s going to be a rough couple of days but you’ll be okay.” He gave the whimpering boy a small smile and turning to leave closing the heavy wooden door behind him.

Hinata let out a low moan as he turned his face into a pillow, trying to not touch his erection and cringing as a flood of slick spilled out of his boxers.

 

Ukai let out a breath when he made it outside and turned to look at Suga “Can you make sure he has water and blankets? And get Daichi up to my room once the others are gone.”

Suga nodded and moved down the hall while Ukai let out a sigh and made his way back to mate.

 

When Suga made it back down to the Den he was surprised to see the room put back together and only the pack members remaining, minus Ennoshita, Kiyoko and Yachi. The Alphas were on the couch with Daichi facing them in Ukais chair, while the Betas and Omegas were milling around the kitchen grazing off the food trays and putting away dishes.

“Daichi, Ukai wants to see you”

Daichi stood up slowly looking at Tanaka and Kageyama “Remember. Shit rolls downhill” and went upstairs

 

Tanaka and Kageyama looked ashamed, but Tanaka looked like he was beating himself up hard. “I’m so sorry Suga. I have no idea what happened” Lowering his head in a rare show of submission from the loud Alpha.

“I appreciate you saying that, but I’m not the one who you should be apologizing too”

Tanaka just lowered his head further, Kageyama seemed to be memorizing the wood grains between his feet.

Tsukishima was glancing at the kitchen looking at Yamaguchi, and Asahi was wringing his hands looking more worried than the ones actually in trouble.

“Where's Yachi and Kiyoko?” Sugo asked walking into the kitchen, leaving the Alphas to worry.

“Chikara took them to Yachis, figured they would get better sleep there.” Narita answered.

Suga only nodded, grabbing a handful of pretzels out of a bowl on the kitchen island to snack on while they all waited for Daichi to come down and give out the orders.

 

Daichi returned twenty minutes later looking less stressed than before, taking the metallic scent of fear out of the air.

“New sleeping arrangements for this weekend. Omegas and betas will be in the main house living room, and the Alphas will be in here. If anyone would rather go home, you're more then welcome too, but we have a pack meeting first thing in the morning.” He finished, watching as everyone got up to get situated with whatever they were doing for tonight. Narita and Kinoshita decided to leave since they only lived a few blocks away and they were still active in their family units. He turned to Suga after the Betas left “Takeda notified Hinatas family unit of his new status and he will probably be with us from now on, but Takedas not feeling well, do you mind looking in on hinata every couple of hours? Your heat just ended so you're less susceptible-”

“To sympathetic heat I know” Suga interrupted “Of course I’ll take care of him. Hows Takeda? was Ukai mad?”

“Takeda is just nauseous because of his pregnancy stuff I guess, you would know more then me on that one. He didn't say anything when I was talking to Ukai, and he’s well… he’s upset i think, but he understands that the unbonded Alphas just don’t have the control down yet. I think he’s more mad at Kuroo and Bokuto, but that's just because they aren’t part of the pack. You know how we get sometimes.”

Suga has been nodding almost the whole time, relieved Tanaka and Kageyama wouldn’t face anger from their leader.

“I bet Hinata will be disappointed when his heats over. He was hoping to grow a few more inches.” Daichi said sighing.

“I’m just glad he made it back okay, it’s a pretty long ride back here”

“I am too”

By the time they finished talking, everyone was situated for sleep. Noya was heading up the stairs for the other living room, leaving them alone for a moment. Daichi pulled Suga into a tight embrace “I love you” he whispered in his ear as he ran his nose through the hair nearest his neck.

“I love you too” Suga laughed lightly in reply.

“Ugh. Get a room.” Tsukishima said pulling his head phones over his ears turning over in his futon.

Daichi released him with a sheepish grin and gave him a chaste peck on the cheek.

Suga went upstairs turning off the hall lights when he got to the top and went to the living room to join Yamaguchi and Noya.

Daichi turned once he knew Suga was out of earshot facing Tanaka and Kageyama who were still on the couch. “So” he said plopping heavily down into Ukais old leather chair “I guess you want to know what kind of trouble your in.”

Tanaka and Kageyama nodded in unison.

“If I understood Ukai correctly, you’re not in actual trouble”

Both boys let out a breath they didn’t realize they were holding.

“However; you will be apologizing to Hinata once his heats over.”

“Of course” Tanaka said earnestly, Kageyama nodding beside him.

“and if either of you intends to court him you will have to ask Ukai first? Any move you make on him without Ukais and Hinatas consent will result in punishment. Are we clear?”

The Alphas in question nodded, Tanaka flushed and Kageyama wearing a look of horror, well he can guess who will be going to Ukai first.

“Okay. Since that's cleared up, get some sleep, we have a busy day tomorrow” and with that the three crawled into their respective sleeping places.



Suga woke up every few hours to check on Hinata, who was not having a good time. His heat was worse than Sugas first. Pack rules forbid bonding or assistance from Alphas during an Omegas heat or Omegas helping an Alphas first rut, but it made sense. Ukai just wanted to keep them all safe and not have resentment or hurt feelings within the Pack. Betas could not receive assistance during their first mating period either, and since they only lasted a day and weren’t severe, they didn’t mind the rules. Ukais only other strict rule concerned courting. Demanding that the Alpha or Beta in question inform him of their intentions to court within his Pack. He didn’t want consent issues popping up behind his back, and a heartbroken Omega could turn everyone's mood sour. He never Denied intentions to count, but if they behaved badly they would be asked to reconsider.

Suag wondered who would ask for Hinata.

Narita wasn’t bound to anyone, but with how rough Hinatas heat looked, he would almost need a knot. Besides, they weren't very close. Kageyama? maybe. He didn’t seem interested in any Omegas until tonight, so he may develop an interest. Bokuto? more likely than Kageyama for sure, but his enthusiasm might scare Hinata off, and he seemed to have a weird attachment to his Alpha friend. Kuroo? hopefully not. He flirted with every Omega who came within a couple meters of him. He was not smooth on any scale but he was always hanging over Kenma. Asahi? Noya would be crushed. Besides, Asahi seemed very taken with the spitfire. So that just left Tanaka. He was pretty likely since Chikara and Kiyoko had just got together, but he was also close to Yachi, and Suga wasn’t sure if he had a gender preference when it came to Omegas.

Only time would tell, but Suga hoped it would be someone within the Pack. He would hate to see Hinata leave.



Ukai woke up to the sound of retching. He rolled over to face the bathroom, squinting at the light coming from the cracked door. Pushing himself up, he walked over and pushed the door open and kneeled next to his Mate, rubbing circles into his back while the sound of dry heaving filled the bathroom “you okay?”

“Ugh. No. I feel horrible.” Takeda said raising his head.

“Do you feel well enough to come back to bed?”

“I don’t think so”

“Okay. I’ll get you some water and a bunch of blankets.”

Ukai left to get the items and Takeda laid his head back down.

 

In the morning Ukai went into the bathroom and was surprised to find Takeda in a nest he had made in the bathtub. He chuckled to himself as he went about his morning routine as quietly as he could so as to not wake his sleeping Mate.

 

He was thankful that Daichi had roused the Pack and everyone was busy starting on the daily chores. Narita, Tanaka and Suga were making breakfast “Suga” Ukai called the ash blonde over “hows Hinata doing?”

“He’s a lot worse this morning, but Chikara went out and got him some… help, so it’s not so bad now I think.”

Ukai chuckled. All of the Omegas has a drawer with knotting toys, and all the Alphas knew what they meant by ‘help’.

“How’s Takeda?” He asked.

“He’s okay. Had a rough night so he’s sleeping right now.”

“We will set aside some miso and rice for him when he wakes up then” Suga said with his signature smile, going to help take the trays of food into the dining room.

Once everyone was finished setting up and sitting down, Ukai started his lecture “We all know Hinata presented as an Omega last night, which is good for the Pack. No one is to treat him any differently or as any less than anyone else. You all know the rules and as long as they are followed no one will have any problems. Clear?”

“Yes sir” the whole table said together.

“Good. Now eat.” and with that everyone started eating and talking amongst themselves, Tanaka the only one staying quiet.

After breakfast they all want about their regular chores. Narita and Kinoshita went home to be with their family units, not expected to to do as much since they didn't live at the inn. Chikara was helping Kiyoko and Yachi wash dishes. Ukai took a tray with breakfast up to Takeda. Daichi and Asahi were getting out cleaning supplies to start on the big open air bath, while Tsukishima, Yamaguchi and Kageyama started on the regular bathrooms. Noya was dusting the main hall and Suga took a bowl of rice and a couple water bottles up to Hinatas room. Knocking lightly before going inside.

Suga stood shocked for a minute at the elaborate fort of blankets and pillows that greeted him.

Hinata has taken all his blankets and made a fort over his futon, while pulling every pillow inside making a nest. Suga looked inside and found Hinata asleep, but breathing heavily. He was thankful he has just come off his heat because the pheromones falling off the sleeping Omega was enough to make a levelheaded Beta dizzy. He set down the bowl and water and left the room quickly hoping the smell didn't stick to him to much.



Tuesday morning found Hinata awake and sore, but the pounding in his ears and the rolling heat in his stomach gone. He sighed, sitting up in the fort on shaky arms. Not eating for five days left him pale, shaky, and so thin his ribs were sticking out. He crawled out of his nest slowly and grabbed the nearest water bottle, taking a small sip to ease his throat. Soft knocking broke the silence followed by Suga popping his head in.

“I see you're finally out of heat!” He said smiling, coming inside and opening the large window in the room. “I figured it would be today. Let’s get you cleaned up and fed” helping Hinata up and leading him to the small bathroom attached to his room. Turning the shower on and getting Hinata inside once it was hot enough. He turned back to the nest Hinata had made and started taking down unsoiled blankets and considered just folding them back up for later but one sniff made him change his mind. Every blanket smelled like sunflowers and fresh cut grass, while it wasn’t unpleasant, it was definitely an Omegas heat scent. Which meant Hinata now owned fourteen pillows.

He had just finished cleaning everything up and piling all the blankets in the corner to take down to the laundry room later, when he heard the water turn off. Grabbing a towel from the top of the dresser and brought it in to Hinata. He looked even more emaciated with his hair lying flat and Suga had to stop a grimace as he wrapped the towel around his thin shoulders and helped him out of the shower, getting him dried off and giving him a warm smile when big amber eyes met his own.

Suga waited outside the door while Hinata got dressed. It was a weekday and most of the Pack was either at school or work. Only Takeda and Kiyoko were still around. He turned when he saw the door slowly open. Hinatas hair was mostly dry and fluffy again and he was in his gym shorts and an oversized sweater.

“Ready?” Suga asked with a smile.

Hinata only looked down and nodded, following Suga down to the Den.

Suga realized he hadn’t heard Hinata say a single word since his heat started.

 

Suga was surprised to see Daichi standing in the kitchen with Bokuto when they made it to the Den, but didn’t notice Hinata stiffen behind him, too focused on the surprise appearence of his Mate.

Daichi smiled when he saw them “Shouyou, your up!”

This made Bokuto turn around and bound over to Hinata with a huge smile, he grabbed his hands when he made it to him, but before he could say anything Hinata ripped his hands out of Bokutos grip and took a step back.

Bokutos smile faltered as they all stared in shock at Hinata, who was standing, hands clenched at his sides and knees shaking. He raised one hand to grip the front of his sweater and started breathing quickly, waves of panic radiating off him. He looked up at Suga who was still in shock when he fell to his knees “Suga… I can’t.. breathe” a look of fear crossing his face.

Suga and Daichi moved to help him while Bokuto just stood staring.

“He’s having a panic attack” Suga said moving Hinata to sit in his lap as he continued clutching his sweater, tears rolling down his cheeks. Daichi was kneeling in front trying to soothe him in some way, when Suga waved him away and looked pointedly at Bokuto.

Daichi stood and led Bokuto to the front door quietly, stepping outside with him so Suga wouldn't overhear them.

“Daichi I’m so sorry. I don’t know understand what happened.”

“I know, I know” He said, raising his hands, trying to placet his friend “Hinata just came out of heat today, his emotions are already out of whack, you know how bad it can get” Bokuto nodded “Plus probably the last thing he clearly remembers is three Alphas trying to jump him”

“That’s why I’m here though! I need to apologize!”

“I know Bokuto, but it’s going to have to wait”

“Okay..”

“It will okay. Just give him some time yeah? Take it slow”

“Alright. I’ll wait. I should go though.”

“Okay. See you at school tomorrow?”

“Yeah” Bokuto got into his car as Daichi stood and waved until he was out of sight.

Back inside Suga had Hinata in the bean bag chair and was curled up with him, raising a finger to his lips as Daichi came over.Hinatas head was tucked under Sugas chin with his arms tight around his waist, Sugas arms resting across his shoulders protectively.

Daichi sat down next to the chair and looked at Suga “What do you think happened?”

“I don’t know, but I've never seen an Omega react like that.”

“Do you think it was just Bokuto? He didn't seem to react to me”

“I have no idea. We’re just going to have to ask him when he wakes up.”

“We are going to have to tell Ukai and Takeda.”

“You can tell Takeda now if you want. He’s in the manager's office.”

“No. I’ll let you. I don’t want him to think I’m pulling some kind of rank or anything. Besides, I’m pretty sure he likes you better.”

“Omegas stick together, you know that. He wouldn't think that if you told him though, but I’ll talk to him once Hinatas up”



Suga ended up falling asleep curled around Hinata and was roused by a light shake to his shoulder. He was greeted by Noyas face inches from his own. Giving a start which woke Hinata as well. Hinata tensed and Suga smelled his panic when Hinata realized it was just them.

“Noya, you’re home early” Suga said letting go of Hinata as he relaxed fully.

“Yeah. I came to check on Shou”

“So you’re skipping”

“Maybe, but Shous more important” He said with a grin.

“Thanks Noya” Hinata said quietly

“Of course” He chirped back happily, grabbing Hinata and jumping on to his other side and snuggled into him rubbing his nose in his hair “jeez you smell good” he said as he took a deep breath.

“Oh.. thanks. You do too” Hinata said with a light blush.

“Yeah but you smell like sunshine and happiness” Noya said rubbing his face through his hair.

Suga smiled at seeing Hinata so relaxed “Are your scent glands sore Hinata?”

“A little i think. My throat feels swollen.”

“I can help you! I’ll teach you how to scent too!” Noya said enthusiastically, looking to Suga for his okay.

“Thats a good idea Hinata. Scenting will massage them”

“O-okay”

“here I’ll go first to show you, then you go. Your glands will still be sore, but this will help a lot and you’ll be all better tomorrow!” Noya said moving to face Hinata and bent down to his neck starting to scent the right side.

Suga watched for a little while until Noya moved to the other side “Can I ask you a question Hinata?”

“sure”

“Why did you react the way you did to Bokuto?”

“I.. don’t know. I just didn’t want him to touch me.”

“but it didn’t bother you when Daichi did”

“I trust Daichi, I don’t think he would hurt me.”

“He would never hurt you. Ever. You think Bokuto would?”

“I remember how he looked that night.”

“That was Alpha instincts Shou. None of them would hurt you.” Noya said looking at Hinata closely, finished scenting.

“They would have if they hadn’t been stopped.”

Both older Omegas were silent at that.

“Well. I have to track down Takeda and get on with my chores. Noya, will you help Hinata get started on his laundry?”

“sure thing”

“Thanks. I’ll see you both soon”

 

“Want to scent me now?” Noya asked Hinata once Suga was gone.

“Will Asahi get mad?”

“What? No. He never gets mad. Besides, Omegas scent each other for comfort, not because of territory or possession”

“Oh. Okay.” Hinata said with his usual bright smile, as he started scenting noya, rubbing his nose and cheeks against his neck like Noya had, taking comfort in the warm smell of his senior.

 

It was close to seven when most of the Pack got back. Suga and Asahi were cooking dinner.

Tanaka was the last in when Noya jumped into his arms. “Shou’s up. You gonna apologize tonight?”

Tanaka put the Omega down and took his shoes off “I want too, but i should probably keep my distance. Ya know? Don’t wanna spook him.”

“Oh. Well whens a good time for you then? Just get it over with. I’ll even come with ya. Would that make it easier?”

“I guess..”

“Good! Now come on, he’s in the laundry room” Noya pulled him along but they were stopped by the mother hen.

“Where do you think you two are going?”

“Tanaka’s gonna apologize to Shou real quick”

“Noya.. I don’t think thats the best plan. You didn’t see how he reacted to Bokuto”

“Suga. I want you to not get mad, but Bokuto isn't in the pack. Tanaka and Kageyama are. Shou hidin behind you every time they are around isn't doin anyone any favors. He needs to get over this.”

“I just think he needs more time.”

“How much more? A day? A week?”

“Noya” suga said warningly.

“No Suga. He needs to hear Ryus apology. He doesn’t have to accept it, but he does need to hear it.”

Tanaka stood slightly behind Noya, surprised to see him stand up to Suga so insistently.

“Fine, but make it quick and so help me Noya if he reacts like he did earlier I will have your head”

“Deal!” the shorter boy said with a cheeky grin. “Let’s go!” and he continued down the hall, Suga watching them go, debating whether or not to follow them.

Noya popped his head into the laundry room to find Hinata folding a massive pile of blankets and pillowcases “Hey Shou!”

“Noya , hey”

“Some one wants to talk to you. I’ll be here the whole time, I just want you to promise to hear him out okay?”

Hinata looked at him wearily, but nodded his consent. Tensing when Tanaka walked in but made no moves to bolt, so they took it as a good sign.

“I’m so sorry for my behavior Hinata. I didn't realize what was happening until I was outside. I would never do anything to hurt you, and I hope you’ll accept my apology.” Tanaka said in almost one breath, bowing low after he finished. Eyes scrunched shut praying Hinata would forgive him.

“Its.. okay Tanaka-sempai. I know it was just.. Alpha instincts”

Tanaka straightened up “No. Thats no excuse. I’ll do everything I can to never let it happen again. I swear”

“I believe you” Hinata said looking up at him.

“Am I forgiven?”

“There wasn't any reason for you not to be, but yes”

“Thank you” Tanaka leaned forward and touched his forehead to Hinatas lightly, happy when he didn't flinch away. He took a relieved breath that smelled of flowers and grass laced with honey and sunshine “Holy shit you smell good”
“I know right?” Noya said laughing as Tanaka moved out of Hinatas space.

“I keep hearing that. I can't tell any difference myself though” Hinata said finally cracking a smile and fully relaxing.

“Well you finish up. Sugas probably waiting for us to come set out food” Noya said as he and Tanaka left the room to head back to the kitchen.

“Glad that went well” Tanaka said relaxing his shoulders.

“It sure did, so… When are ya gonna talk to Ukai?”

“Talk about what?”

“Uh. About courting Shou?”

“HA. You’re crazy. Ukai would never approve.”

“He’s never once said no. You won't know until you try. Unless I’m wrong and you’re not interested.”

“Of course I’m interested. I’m more than interested, but he deserves way better.”

“Way better then the Alpha Tanaka Ryuunosuke? I can name maybe two, and they are both taken. I think you have the best shot out of anyone you could possibly think of.”

“Yeah right.”

“Yeah it is right. Just give it a shot Ryu. You might be surprised.”



Noya was panting hard as sweat dripped from his hair and landed on his soaked tshirt. He had his hands on his hips and his head back as they rested after their morning run. Asahi was hunched over, trying hard not to look at Noya. “ugh it’s too hot for this shit” Noya said entering the inn form the back door closest to the wing where their bedrooms were. Asahi trailing behind, not realizing Noya went straight for his room.

“What are you doing?”

“Your shower has waaay better water pressure then mine” Noya said taking off his shirt and fanning himself while turning on the water “Wanna shower together?”

“Oh. Uh. No t-that’s okay. You go first”

“How nice of you” Noya muttered under his breath

“What?”

Noya turned and looked right at Asahi “When are we going to bond?”

“B-bond?”

“Yeah. Bond. You know, when two people who want to be together for an extended period of time mark each other. That way everyone else knows and doesn’t constantly ask questions” a hard edge had crept into his voice “We’ve been together for two years, twelve heats, and you’ve never once asked too. Why?”

“I didn’t want to make the choice for you”

“What? Did you think I’ve been with you all this time for shits and giggles?”

“No Noya. I dont know why. Why would you want to be with me? There are hundreds of Alphas better.I don't want- I just- I want you to be happy, and I’m scared one day you will wake up and realize you made a mistake. I couldnt bear it.”

Noya just looked up at him “You are so incredibly stupid” he said huffed out after a couple of seconds “Shower with me”

“But-”

“Shower with me Asahi”

 

After a long and intense shower Noya was half dressed and pressed into Asahis side while they laid on his bed. Asahi was fiddling with the edge of his shirt and Noya could tell he was trying to say something, so he chose to just snuggle in closer and wait for him to work out whatever it was.

He waited a good fifteen minutes before Asahi finally seemed to figure out what he wanted to say, but what he did say surprised him.

“When’s your next heat?”

Noya sat up and stared at him “I’m not sure. A week I think. My summer heat usually starts early right?”

“Yeah I think so.”

“Why?”

Asahi reached up and ran his fingers through Noyas hair with a nervous smile “Do you want to bond during it this time?”

Noyas mouth dropped open at his words “Are you sure?” he asked quietly.

“I’ve never been more sure of anything.”

“Then yes!” Noya practically shouted, throwing himself into Asahis open arms, nuzzling into his neck and laughing happily.

 

A week passed by uneventfully. Takeda and Ukai were busy with Inn and store stuff. Daichi and Suga had school. The high schoolers had school and practice, Kiyoko and Asahi had work.

By thursday Noya was feeling jittery and hot, more restless than usual. Tanakas hand landed on Noyas shoulder pulling him out of his daze “Yuu I need to take you home, or would you rather Hinata and Yamaguchi?”

Noya stared at him for a minute “why am I going home?”

“because you’re going into heat?”

“Oh. Call Asahi.”

“Right. Can do.” Tanaka pulled his phone out bringing up Asahis number and sending him the ‘hey your Omega going into heat’ text. “So, me or Hinata?”

“You can take me”

“You sure?”

“Hmm” Noya hummed quietly.

“Alirght. I’ll get your stuff then”



Back at the Den Noya was laying on the bean bag chair as Tanaka stood in the kitchen shoveling rice into his mouth as they waited for Asahi to come back.

 

Twenty minutes passed when they both heard the door open revealing a flustered Asahi.

Tanaka looked up from his food and was surprised to see Noya right in front of Asahi. He didnt even see him move, Further proof Noya was a ninja in a past life.

“Asahi” Noya said, gently grabbing his hands and moving in close “I need you.”

Asahi was flushed bright red and Tanaka pointedly looked away when they made eye contact. Thank god Noyas heats only lasted two days at the most, Tanaka couldn't handle how mushy they could be.

Asahi easily lifted Noya up and looked at Tanaka “could you let Ukai or Daichi know what's up?”

“Yeah sure” Tanaka turned back to his food trying not to think about Hinatas summer heat.

 

Asahi got Noya upstairs when his heat scent fully kicked in. He smelled like fresh bread and raspberries, and it made Asahis mouth water. This would be their thirteenth heat together, but he knew this one would be different. They would finally bond.

Noya pulled his clothes off slowly after Asahi laid him down on the bed. He was already producing slick and Asahi was silently grateful he had put the waterproof cover on his bed last night as he pulled his shirt off. Noya laid down and raised his arms up in a submissive position. Asahi couldn't help but run his hands down Noyas sides and moved down slowly parting his legs and slid between them. Looking down at his glassy eyed Omega, Asahi felt his heart tug and the heat radiating of Noyas skin. The scent was starting to make him dizzy and he could feel his rut setting in as he nuzzled into Noyas neck coaxing more of the sweet scent out.

Noya was squirming and wrapped his arms around Asahis neck “You smell so good Asahi” he whispered into his neck as he breathed in the scent of campfires and pine trees. He raised his hips and started to grind into Asahi, panting at the friction it caused.

“Are you ready?” Asahi asked in a low whisper. Noya only nodded his head quickly.

Asahi kissed his jaw as he moved two fingers over the Omegas entrance slowly, pushing them into the slick heat and breathing deeply, trying to stop himself from rutting into Noya right then. Noyas short gasps and whimpers as he scissored his fingers inside making his hold on his self control looser than it was before.

“Asahi i'm ready. Do it” Noya panted out. Asahi took a shaky breath and turned Noya over to his hands and knees, kissing the point between his neck and shoulder where the bond mark would go, running his hands along his back making him shiver.He moved back to grab a condom from the box on his nightstand and his eyes went huge at the sight on his bed.

Noya was resting his chest on the bed with his face face flushed and eyes dazed. His hips were in the air and he was using his fingers to open his hole up. The classic presenting pose for Omegas that he’s never seen Noya do.

Alpha instincts going into overdrive, He positioned himself behind Noya kissing one cheek and then the other, flicking his tongue into his hole a few times loving the feeling of Noyas back and legs tensing as his toes curled. He straightened up and shuffled forward to line himself up with Noyas opening. Noya lifted up supporting himself on his hands again as he started to push in. He arched his back as Asahi pushed all the way in, the Alpha growling low at Noyas moaning as he started to move in and out.

“Deeper Asa- Ah. Deeper.”

Asahi thrust in farther hitting Noyas sweet spot as the Omega keened and threw his head back. He pounded that one spot relentlessly as Noyas breathing picked up and he knew the Omega was getting close.

Noya came hard all over Asahis sheets. His clenching hole pushing Asahi over the edge as he thrust in hard one last time up to the hilt, feeling his knot inflate as he was hooked inside the trembling walls. He leaned forward and Noya cried out as bit down the soft skin in the crook of his neck hard enough to break the skin as he climaxed, filling the condom.

Shuddering as he came down from his high, he maneuvered Noya from the stain on the sheets and got them both laying down under the down comforter. Asahi spooning Noya, one arm under his head holding him close. The other caressing his stomach, Alpha instincts wanting to fill him and have children, but glad rational thought was present at the start. His knot was still inflated and Noya was in an orgasm haze, walls still trying to pull him in further. He kissed the bond mark and licked some of the blood off, heart swelling at the idea of Noya being his forever.

When Noya finally came down and his knot deflated, he moved off his Omega. Removing the condom and going to the bathroom to start the bath, waiting until it was full to go back and get Noya. He lifted him up and carefully walked back to the tub, setting him in the warm water. Noyas eyes were still glassy but the heat had left his skin.

Asahi left him to change his sheets and was back at his side quickly. He knew the hour after bonding could be dangerous. If the bond took they would be Mates. If it didn’t take Noya would go back into heat and they would have to wait until his next heat to try again, but in between the Omega would be disoriented and unsure of where they were.

Asahi was extremely cautious as he finished wiping him down and rinsing his hair. He got Noya on his feet and out of the tub to dry him off and picked him back up to take him back to bed. Noya curled into Asahis side and before the Alpha could get them covered again he was asleep.

 

When Noya woke he was pressed into Asahis chest. The Alphas arms wrapped around him and his eyes closed, but Noya knew he was awake “Hey” he croaked out, Asahis eyes snapping open.

“You’re up”

“Yeah, and not in heat anymore” he said with a wobbly smile as his fingers brushed the bond mark.

“Good” Asahi choked out pressing his nose into Noyas hair.

“So i guess this means I’m yours now.”

“You will always be your own, but I do hope that I can have your heart.”

Noyas heart skipped a beat and he turned bright red up to his ears “o-of course”

Asahi gave him a smile and a kiss before wrapping him back into the sleepy embrace.
